New for September 2009
We are currently developing an addon module to the partybook system that will be for taking the dance mats into schools. You will be able to record the children's names in the class and then use the system to track the progress of the children through the year. As part of the new addon we will be adding a login area for the children at the schools and any multi-activity clubs that you run to be able to login and see their scores as well as high score tables from all the sessions you run. Whilst the main suppliers of the dance mats have their own login areas, this would be local to you and also have the advantage of you being able to add local advertising to the login area that you would draw an income from.The Equipment
There are three main suppliers of dance mats in the UK: ZigZag, Fitness Gaming and Pulse Fitness. Each have their own hardware and software included. There are differences in each offering and we can help you make your decision regarding which system to go for.
We do not supply the equipment ourselves and any purchases will be made directly between you and the supplier.
